Elitetrack: Sport Training & Conditioning

Hi. I have a similar question: Does anyone have suggestions where to buy the books by Charlie Francis (Training for speed/Speed trap)? Any forum member interested in selling?

but are you searching the hardcover book? if you are interesting only for reading them you can purchase the e-book version on CF’s site.

Oh thx didn’t notice that.

umm, amazon.com has everything in the world ever made ever doesnt it.?  ? ? ?lol

Though not as technical as the ones previously mentioned, Brooks Johnson Coaching Manual is a good read, IMHO.  Some interesting perspectives from one of the more prominent USA T&F;coaches through several decades.

Another (if you can find it - possibly old book shops) is Champions in the Making by Jordan/Spencer.  Many specific and anecdotal references to the giants of the 50’s and 60’s.  Perhaps a more sanitary version of something like Speed Trap.

I don’t know where you could find it.  It’s a translation from Russian.  I found it in Dan Pfaff’s office.

Here’s a new one for me to anyone teaching or learning any athletic skill:
The Inner Game of Tennis - Timothy Gallwey
Excellent book that will make you question if you are overcoaching your athletes

ok, thank you for your informations!
